State of Space and Satellite Technologies in 2025 (Updated: June 27th, 2025)

NASA’s Artemis I launched November 16, 2022, sending an uncrewed Orion around the Moon on the first SLS flight. By 2024, the global space economy hit $570 billion, with commercial ventures generating 80%. The U.S. led 154 of 259 orbital launches in 2024; SpaceX flew 90. Over 11,000 active satellites orbit Earth as of 2025, with Starlink alone operating about 7,500.

China’s AO-MDR Laser Link Delivers 1 Gbps from Geostationary Orbit

China’s AO-MDR Laser Link Delivers 1 Gbps from Geostationary Orbit

A 2-watt laser on a geostationary satellite sent a 1 Gbps downlink to Earth over 36,000 km, using AO-MDR technology to counter atmospheric turbulence. The ground station’s 1.8-meter telescope and deformable mirror boosted usable signal frames from 72% to 91.1%. The test, led by Prof. Wu Jian and Liu Chao, was published in Acta Optica Sinica in June 2025. The result shows high efficiency at very low power.

From Orbit to Runway and Back: Lux Aeterna’s Delphi Platform and the Rise of Fully Reusable Satellites

Lux Aeterna has raised $4 million in pre-seed funding to develop Delphi, a fully reusable satellite bus. The 200 kg demonstrator will launch as a rideshare on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 in early 2027, carry a customer payload to low Earth orbit, and return to land on solid ground. Delphi’s rigid, conical heat shield forms its main structure for repeated reentries. The U.S. Department of Defense has shown interest in the platform.

  • Marsh (MRSH) Shares Jump 3.3% on Mercer Acquisition Boost and Growth Prospects
    March 23, 2026, 9:46 AM EDT. Marsh (MRSH) surged 3.3% to $176.48 following strong trading volume, reversing a prior 4.5% decline over four weeks. The rally reflects Mercer's agreement to acquire AltamarCAM, adding €20 billion in assets under management and expanding Marsh's footprint in Europe and Latin America. Forecasts anticipate Marsh's quarterly earnings per share (EPS) at $3.22, a 5.2% increase year-over-year, with revenues expected to rise 4.6% to $7.39 billion. However, consensus EPS estimates have slightly declined by 0.7% over the past month, a trend typically not aligned with rising stock prices. Marsh holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), highlighting cautious market sentiment despite growth potential. Investors should monitor upcoming earnings and sector performance for further stock movement indicators.
